What value to put
On the bouquet
From your friend
A kindness
To remind
You, and those around you
Of the victories of love
Offered by the scents
From the blue vase roses
I will find
Your droplets of ink
Though I maybe already have
But first to love
It was the grace of love
Of which my meditation singer sang
Little purpose then
In going towards those unkind
Less favourable words
